Things I liked:Realistic 1911 experience (minus the heavy recoil and noise loud enough to require hearing protection). Fun to shoot, seemingly pretty accurate too. Blow back is cool and adds realism to the experience. I will be using this to train a friend on range safety and gun handling techniques. Certainly a LOT less expensive than firing the real thing! Happy with this purchase! :)Things I would have changed:It would be nice if the CO2 cartridges lasted longer but understandably the blow back feature uses gas more rapidly than a non-blowback gun would.What others should know:I got about 68 shots out of one CO2 cartridge. I say 'about' because I didn't think to count until after I emptied the cartridge. I BELIEVE I recovered every BB out of my trap/backstop, but a few might have escaped. I can say for certain I got 3 full clips plus a most of the 4th out of it.

Things I liked:I liked everything,
It is full metal and blow-back giving it a realistic feel. Things I would have changed:it is a little bit pricey, other than that it's great.What others should know:do not use this gun outside if it is below freezing,
our is it will ruin your mag.

Things I liked:Very much like my real Colt 1911, This metal gun has a lot of realism, great blowback action, very accurateThings I would have changed:NothingWhat others should know:Uses more Co2 of course than a non blowback 1911.
